I found it impossible to "hold the bottom of the zipper while pulling up with the other hand" on the outside of my right ankle/leg. They need to make these in right and left zipper versions. Not worth sending back so I will probably donate it (tried it on over a sock just in case.) Would only recommend it to someone who needs it for the left ankle. If you're agile enough to do this on the right, why do you need it all?

have a heart problem causing water detention and needed an easy to use hose per dr. advice. These appeared to fit the bill, will let you know if they do not work. would like a lighter color but black will have to do it seems.

My grand daughter has a problem with the ligament in her ankle that requires surgery to correct but she has to wait 2 years until she has finished growing to have it done. I hope this will help with the pain she has when walking all day in school. I will be sure to let everyone know if it helps her.
